Examples of sire


sire
The first analyses used grandoffspring of wild-caught flies as sires and dams.
A total of 32 sires and 31 dams in 38 parental couples produced 151 litters.
In bulls, the efficiency of in vitro fertilization is highly variable amongst individual sires.
Their odds were improved greatly by siring offspring before the sister or in greater numbers.
The effective size depends on the variances and means of the numbers of times (l) the sires and the dams are bred in the herd.
151 progeny of sires used for detection of economic trait loci in dairy cattle.
In a granddaughter design, marker genotypes are available on elite sires and their sons and trait phenotypes are observed on daughters of sons.
The estimated substitution effects were large and similar for the four sires.
The simulated data were generated such that sires were heterozygous at all markers.
The sire's two marker alleles are denoted by ml, 1 on his paternal chromosome and ml, 2 on his maternal chromosome for every marker position.
The founder population consisted of 25 sires and 50 dams, and 15 discrete generations were considered (founder generation being generation 0).
In practice, one would start by genotyping recombinant sires for the additional, ordered markers.
Structure 2, which has 10 sires, 200 dams and 200 progeny, can be applied to animals such as cattle or sheep.
56 were mated with 2 sires and 13 with 3 or more.
The distribution of progeny across the five herds was non-random for 5 sires and random for 15 sires.
